"Dalton?" Kurt says quietly as Blaine nods.
"Yeah...it um, it has a no bullying policy, we have a glee club too as you know and its safe for you,"
"Why do you care so much?" Kurt demands and Blaine sort of stops his ramble and bites his bottom lip. He looks at Kurts eyes and sees the pain behind him.
"Because I know how this feels, I know what its like to be bullied, and ... you matter Kurt, you deserve to be safe"
Finn was still fuming and pacing the hospital waiting room with Rachel nearby “Finn?” She asked hesitantly and he just shook his head which for her she knew meant ‘don't talk to me'
“I should have followed him,” He said finally after pacing 3 more times throwing his hands over his head pulling slight at his hair.
“You couldn't have known,” Rachel said softly stopping him pulling at his hair with her arm on his.
Burt was mad at him. He was mad because Finn hadn't even known Kurt was getting bullied, and they were supposed to be brothers.
“I did though, I saw him heading that way and I knew Karofsky was there, but I couldn't leave either, I was in training, but I should have. Puck and Sam left earlier telling me they were gonna check up on him and if they hadn't he would have…”
“Finn you're the quarterback, of course you felt it was your duty to stay on field, Sam and Puck aren't as- ”
“But he's my brother Rachel! I should have dropped everything for him and now look where he is,”
Finn kicked at a chair.
“Sir, please be aware there are patients in here, that kind of anger is not permitted,” A nurse nearby stated immediately
“I'm going to get some air,” Finn said and left Rachel.
Blaine was grateful that Lima Hospital was only 45 minutes from Dalton Academy as it meant he would be able to get to Kurt quicker.
He felt sick in the stomach the entire road trip at the thought of what happened to Kurt if it was anything like his old school.
Wes and David didn't make any comments.
David was driving as Blaine didn't have a car so for that he was also grateful and Wes had told the headmaster that a friend of theirs had been taken to hospital and why the Warbler's meeting was cancelled and as soon as she gave the okay they were off, he had asked the others to stay behind even though he was surprised most of them had wanted to go, he also found out the majority of the Warblers were already following Kurt on Instagram and felt bad for Kurt.
He went into Mercedes_N1Diva's account and found her latest picture which ironically was 5 hours ago of her and Kurt. His heart did a little flip at the sight of Kurt's smile and proudness in that picture. How different would that look be when get got to the hospital? Blaine wondered.
💬Blaine_Warbler @Mercedes_N1Diva Is Kurt up to visitors? I should be there by 4 oclock.
💬Azimio-Rulz Hummel had it coming to him, shouldn't parade his Fagness around the school like a little fairy maybe he'll finally learn to hide back in the closet
💬Blaine_Warbler @Azimio-Rulz you're a horrible person
💬Puckerman @Blaine_Warbler how do you even know Kurt?
💬Blaine_Warbler @Puckerman It's a long story, you from his glee club?
💬Pucker @Blaine_Warbler yeah man, if you're a homophobic leave him alone he's dealt with enough shit as it is if you hadn't already heard by now
💬Blaine_Warbler @Puckerman The last thing I want to do is hurt Kurt.
Blaine didn't know how to respond any more to that so he didn't
💬FinnHuson @Puckerman @Blaine_Warbler I believe you dude, I saw your name in his phone list. Oh and Azimio? @Azimio-Rulz
💬Azimio-Rulz @FinnHudson what is it ladypants?
💬FinnHudson @Azimio-Rulz Just so you know you aren't getting away with this either
At first Blaine was worried when Mercedes didn't reply and wondered if he should ask Finn instead but then he got a phone call.
“Kurt gave me your number,” Mercedes explained and then added “How did you find out?”
“That creep named Jacob posted the news on Tumblr which he also shared on Instagram,” Blaine answered “How is he?” Wes was looking at him as though trying to hear so he put her on loud speaker.
“Not good I'm afraid. The doctors say he will get better in time, he has to rest at home for a couple of weeks though, and stay in the hospital for the night, his dad is here though so he's happy about that, he spoke more words to his dad than he has for us and Mr Shue told Sue Sylvester what happened and she expelled Karofsky from school,”
“It shouldn't have happened at all,” Wes commented and Blaine nodded in agreement.
“Whose that?” Mercedes asked sounding lost.
“Sorry, Mercedes this is my best friend Wes,” David retorted with a “Hey!” and Blaine looked guiltily at David who had stopped at a red light and glared at him in the back
“Sorry, and also my other best friend David who is currently driving us to the hospital,”
“Heya,” was David's greeting to Mercedes who said “Hey there,”
“They helped me get out of Dalton to see Kurt, so I um…I hope it's alright if we can see him,” Blaine was rubbing the back of his neck nervous now wondering if they'd even be allowed to see Kurt. They weren't close friends or relatives.
“I'll talk to his dad, and let him know about you, but considering Kurt was willing to give me your number I can't see that as being a problem,”
His shoulders relaxed a bit at that. “Thanks,”
Mercedes told Blaine what happened finally when after hesitating he asked her, and Blaine really really was glad he was only 2 minutes away from the hospital by that point because he couldn't bear the thought of Kurt not having as many people as possible supporting him at that time than any other time. Maybe it would have been alright if the other Warblers had come.
David parked as close to the hospital as he could get, when they got out and started walking to the front entrance Blaine stopped as he saw the guy that had been playing Brad's part in Rocky Horror heaving out the front in the hospital garden.
He turned towards him and David and Wes looked at each other unsure what was happening but followed behind him.
“Hey you alright?” Blaine asked. Wes and David stood next to Blaine.
The boy stopped vomiting and shook his head. David offered Finn the chance to come in for a glass a water who accepted.
Wes went to grab the water and they gave it to him as they sat down in opposite chairs to the stranger.
“Thanks,” The miserably boy muttered.
“No problem,” Wes and Blaine said at the same time.
“Finn I'm going to get Kurt something, Rachel told me that you were do…” Mercedes was heading their way and stopped as Blaine stood up at once as she entered “Did you say Kurt?”
“Blaine?” She asked shocked. Blaine nodded “You're Mercedes right?”
Mercedes's frown turned up a little as she pulled Blaine in a hug “Oh my god it is you!”
Had Blaine seen David and Wes's faces it would have been a perfect Instagram moment.
“Yeah, hey listen Burt gave the all clear, that's Kurt's dad,” She added remembering Burt never met them. “He knows you guys are from another school, and that Dalton Academy is our competitors, it was the only way for me to explain this, I'm not sure how he would have taken it if I blurted out you met on Instagram, that's Kurt's job not mine,” she grinned and Blaine nodded now grateful to have Wes and David as back ups.
“Thank you so much,” Blaine responded sincerely.
“No worries, you want anything from the café? I'm heading to Lima Bean, it's Kurt's favourite coffee,”
“Nah I'm good,” Blaine said anxious to get to Kurt “Thanks,” he added.
“Um does someone mind telling me what the hell is going on?” Finn asked looking at the interactions in front of him. Mercedes glared at him also mad along with Burt.
“This is Blaine, Wes and David, they're friends of Kurt,”
“Oh so you're Blaine, good to meet you dude, I'm Kurt's brother,” He gave out a hand which Blaine shook.
“Brother? You look nothing alike,” David added beside Blaine's right side as Wes agreed.
“Step brothers, Kurt and Finn's parents just got engaged, this morning actually,” Mercedes answered “Got to run, see you all soon,”
“Bye,” Blaine waved at her and soon.
“He's in room 422, second floor,” Finn said to fill in the silence that followed after Mercedes had left.
“Thank you Finn,” Blaine smiled at him. “You coming man?” David asked as they were about to head up there.
Finn shook his head “Not just yet, thanks though,”
“Take care,” Wes patted his shoulder and Finn stared after them amazed at their kindness as they left him to think in the lobby.
When they got up to the second floor, they saw a bunch of people who Blaine recognised as the New Directions pacing the floor next to a room.
Wes saw Blaine's expression “Don't chicken out on him now Blaine,”
Blaine was grateful Wes knew him so well and offered him a small smile in return and took a deep breathe.
Within 10 minutes of introducing himself and confirming what Mercedes had said to Kurt's dad was true he found himself in Kurt's room alone. The others waited outside to give him some time with Kurt.
“Blaine?” He heard Kurt call out and that small voice stopped him from staring at Kurt in the hospital bed. He couldn't believe anyone would want to harm this perfect boy.
He comes a bit closer so Kurt can see him "Hey, how are you?"
"Peachy," Kurt responds, His heart warms at the sight of him and Blaine feels like he wants to sing. He wants to sing to Kurt. He knows this is weird and he knows this is definately not normal, theres just something telling him to do it, but he doesnt,
Blaine laughs a little and his hand rests gently on Kurts knee in the hospital bed.
"You need to stop saying that, youre most definitely not okay,"
Kurt shrugs a little defeated and too much in pain too do much else.
“So how come you're here? Stalking me again?”
Blaine's face falls at that, feeling guilty and unsure, he looks down at his hands. Of course Kurt thinks he's creepy.
Who wouldn't find this creepy?
“Blaine, I'm just kidding,” He hears Kurt laugh just a little and for that coming here was worth it.
“I heard what happened, I'm so so sorry you have to deal with that,” Blaine sat down in a nearby chair next to Kurt's bed as he said this and moves the chair closer to Kurt.
Kurt shrugs a little bit “I wanted to stand up to him, I wanted this week to be a good one. Especially since my dad and Finns mum are engaged and I just didn't want to deal with that for one week,” Kurt's voice broke and Blaine shifted closer. “Hey…” He said concerned. He lifted his hand to cover Kurt's cheek and wiped away a tear.
The other boy's eyes were on him then and he found himself leaning in.
He coughed and stopped himself before he did anything stupid.
“You um…you don't have to go through that anymore you know, there are other options,”
“Like what?” Kurt snapped.
"What do you think about coming to Dalton?"
